Application deadline and other dates
Applications are due by 11:59 pm EST on September 30, 2025. Late applications cannot be considered. If you have any quick, specific questions about the application, please contact info@shandakenprojects.org, but only if you really, truly, absolutely can't puzzle it out yourself.

Residency scheduling explained
Applicants to Shandaken: Catskill can select one of the following tracks within the application: one week, two weeks, three weeks, one week followed by an additional one-week return trip, or two weeks followed by a one-week return trip. Return trips give participating artists an initial opportunity to explore the possibilities of printmaking and bookmaking, enjoy an interval of prepress time in a home studio, then return to make final prints or books. We strongly suggest that artists who are not fully proficient in print- and publication-making consider a residency with a return trip.
Costs
There is a $25 fee to apply. For those with special financial needs, fee waivers are available. To apply to have your fee waived, please email us with a few lines about your circumstances. The deadline for inquiries regarding waivers is end of day, September 23. If you are chosen to participate, your residency will be completely free, however at present we are unable to offer travel reimbursement, nor offer any financial support beyond our materials stipend.

Selection process
Applications are juried by a panel of art professionals. Best efforts are made to offer time slots to successful applicants based on their preferences, but dates offered for residencies are nonnegotiable.
